For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Alphabet Game Thread

Mon Aug 18, 2008 6:24 am

Alright, this is how it works (I have no idea if this will take off at all but I'll give it a shot).

Rule 1: ALL posts need to start with the letter that follows what the previous post had as it's starting letter (the next post must start with the letter "B"...for anyone who's a little slow on the uptake)
Rule 2: Because the alphabet only has 26 letters, and we may have more than 26 posts, after Z, we go back to A. No number shenanigans.
Rule 3: Can you, for the purpose of keeping this thread tidy, do us all a favour? If you post, but in the time you took to post someone's beat you to it and took the letter, DELETE YOUR POST IMMEDIATELY! The post(s) below the top one with the same letter at the beginning of the post are the ones that need to be deleted. Save your wit for 26 posts.

Thought I'd bring this over from TacticalGamer. An extra way to waste time online between WW games!

Basically, we can talk about whatever we want here as long as the first letter follows the alphabetical order?

Correct CW, that is what she means!

(btw - people are told if someone has posted in the time they were writing their reply, so there's no excuse to post the same letter twice)

Definitely sounds like a fun game. 0:)

Except if you hit "reply" AFTER their post has gone through, Rachel. So be sure to check the topic review when you're posting.

For Sure, Moongewl, you are correct!

Hellooo, this game started 7 posts before this one! Duh!

I was only suggesting that we could actually start some discussion about a particular topic instead of questioning the game's rules. :P

Just suggesting it is not good enough - you should do it!

Kay, if you want me to. :)

Uh... Funnily enough, I can't think of a topic right now. Any takers?

Lame!!

How about the weather? That's always a good fall back topic...

My apologies, I seriously couldn't think of any appropriate topic! :oops:

The weather's great over here lately - I wish I had gone out more!

Nevermind! We have a topic now.

The weather here sucks. It's winter at the moment.

Ooh. Sounds fun. Any snow or hail or anything cool falling from the skies?
